This YA sci-fi book feels like Brave New World meets The Giver. Years after the Slow Plague has wiped out humans, clones have been created--carefully assembled as diseases have been eradicated. Each "species" can "commune" with each other so when one hurts, they all do. But Althea 301 appears to be different as she has intuition beyond her sisters. So when Jack, a human outsider is introduced to the compound and taunted because of his odd behavior, Althea questions why she feels something more than she should. What follows is a tale of an unusual community as it explores the themes of acceptance, betrayal, familial obligations, and love. What if you never found your "one and only" or do we need someone like that in our lives to feel complete? I was captivated by this novel from beginning to end!
